Popis: The protective role of antioxidants rich supplements viz. Spirulina and tamarind fruit pulp (@230mg/kg bodyweight) were screened on sperm morphology, their counts and motility in Swiss albino mice exposed to sub-acute (@ 190 mg / kg body weight) and sub-chronic (94 mg / kg body weight) doses of fluoride for 7 days and 90days respectively. The recovery of sub-chronic group was also examined after 90days of fluoride with drawl. Fluoride exposure induced morphological abnormalities in sperms and reduced their motility and counts; and alterations were relatively higher in the mice reared only on standard diet in comparison to those standard diet + diet supplement. Fluoride with drawl led to faster recovery of diet supplement groups. Among supplements, combination of Spirulina + tamarind fruit pulp was relatively more ameliorative than either of them.
